vacuum leak perhaps...when I did my headgasket my friend and I were mystified as to why my truck would run for ~3 seconds and then die. Turned out we missed a vacuum line.

Get the code first and post back with it.

i get code 14 and 21. bad igu(ignition control module) and bad o2 sensor. i put in used distributer from junk yard and it now runs. however i noticed that my truck is missing the o2 sensor or it is not where it should be( mounted too exsaust manifold). i will sen a pic of where it should be. i also have a vacuum tube that used too go somewhere that is now going nowhere. i cant figure out where it goes. i will post pics asap thanks

pics are ok i can try again but it is hard to upload only 46 kb. sizes

What year is your truck? that makes a difference where your o2 sensor is. It is either under the heat sheild, or there is one before the catalytic converter and one after. The pictures are hard to see, but the missing wire one looks like it has something to do with cruse control. I cant make out much out in the picture in regards to the vacume hose.
